- We have the right to be full members of you family. We thrive
on social interaction, praise and love
- We have the right to stimulation. We need new games, new toys,
new experiences and new smells to be happy.

hyper, sluggish or fat.
- We have the right to have fun. Don’t expect us to be predictable all
the time. We enjoy acting like clowns now and then.
- We have the right to quality health care. Please stay good friends
with our vet.
- We have the right to a good diet. We depend on you for all our
good healthy decisions.
- We have the right not to be rejected because of your expectations
that we make great show dogs or cats, watchdogs, hunters or baby-
sitters.
- We have the right to receive proper training. Otherwise, our good
relationship could be marred by confusion and strife and we could
become dangerous to ourselves and others.
- We have the right to guidance and correction based on
understanding and compassion, rather than abuse.
- We have the right to live with dig nity…and to die with dignity
when the time comes.
